This 'unexpected disclosure of information' is not uncommon. So, consider OOo cropping like folding back the unwanted edge of a photo, rather than tearing it off. The ORIGINAL PICTURE, uncropped, is always in the XML ODF file and would be sent to any recipients (easily seen using any zip program, too). Or with the ooocrop extension, the handles yanked outward and Enter pressed. The crop limits can easily be moved back to the original borders. There are bars at the current crop limits. If a picture previously cropped in OOo is selected and OOo's crop tool is opened, the entire original picture is shown in the viewer.

OOo only stops presenting the unwanted information until someone says different. *WARNING* - OOo cropping does *NOT* remove the unwanted areas from the picture. But I'd like to pass along my experiences with OOo cropping in general: In addition to Draw and Impress which the author mentions, I see it also made a Writer toolbar called 'oooCrop' and seems to work. I did initially get an error but after closing OOo and the quickstarter, the second time was perfect. Thanks for the tip on where it installed and how it works, things the extension authors often omit. However, this approach (and also ODG -> PDF -> PGF) is bound to fail, since the generated EPS/PDF do not contain the label text as entire string but rather as individual characters.Hi. I haven't tried the tool, which is also the subject of one of the replies to PS-or-PDF to tikz converter?.

Had to edit the TeX output to remove a superfluous object.

It seems to be unmaintained and produced various issues when I tried it on a small example: The inkscape2tikz extension doesn't help here. I'm not sure if it's possible to produce ConTeXt, though. This tutorial (also linked from the above answer) shows in detail how to do it. The basic idea is that the drawing without text is exported as PDF, and the text portions are exported as TikZ code.

Since OpenOffice Draw is capable of producing SVG output, you can open it in Inkscape (version 0.48 or later, any current version should do) and use the PDF+LaTeX export feature as suggested by this answer. ODG -> SVG -> Inkscape SVG -> TikZ: inkscape2tikz Since OO Draw cannot write TikZ code directly, you will need an intermediate format.īasically there are two options, only one of them works.
